My Grandmother and Grandfather Liechty. Both of these individuals had a great impact on my life. My Grandfather was a great man who helped people everywhere he could. His love for people trickled down to help mend broken fences and bring people together. My Grandmother was very influential in my life as well. Her courage, commitment and faith is something I will always remember.

I spent my summers with them when I was a child and their teachings helped make me the man I am today. They always believed in me and they always helped me.

I will miss them. I think of them every day and am thankful for the time I had with them and hopeful for the opportunity to pass on the lessons they gave me.
